November Special

Another Evening Session at the Beach!

Last night, I had another great session at the beach! I worked till the sun went down with these two adorable kids. This wasn't my first time working with them, so I came more prepared. In my defense, the first time I worked with them, it was also my first photography session EVER. These 2 kiddo's seemed more energetic and more social this time. It must have been the beach atmosphere! While I was preparing for my first beach session, I came across an article that stated that sessions at the beach always seem to make people more laid back, and relaxed. These kids were definitely more relaxed than the first time I tried to take their pictures. I did come bearing toys, tho. I brought bubbles, which unfortunately were useless(haha), a stick horse, a spikey rubber ball, a big ball, a sailor hat, and a rocking horse. I was determined to convince these kiddo's we were going to have fun while taking pictures. On top of that, their Mommy brought some fun costumes since Halloween is right around the corner!

I have a feeling I will be doing a lot of beach sessions, and one thing I need to remember is not to roll around in the sand with my camera bag attached to me! When I got home, I put my husband's OCD to good use. I put him in charge of getting rid of the sand in my bag and on my equipment...haha. He didn't even complain! Such a great husband! =)

First Beach Session

I did my very first beach session last night, and I have to say it was a success! I was thrilled when I first saw the family as they showed up in white tops and blue jeans, which is a great look for beach portraits.

On another note, I really need to get a lens critter! haha. I really would like to see if that would help draw some attention to my camera. I, fortunately, got some great shots of all of them looking at the camera regardless. It almost seemed impossible, but it was done!

I'm looking forward to doing more beach portraits in the future!

Family/Maternity Session

Friday night, I had the opportunity to capture a family of 4, including baby girl in Momma's belly. It was my first maternity session, and I was thrilled to do it! Big brother was pretty hard to capture, but I got a few shots of him. He is definitely a BOY, tho! Very energetic and curious. haha. I definitely need to invest in something to get the attention of children who aren't interested in my taking their picture. =)

2 Year Birthday Session

Yesterday, I did a 2 year birthday session! I was really looking forward to this session, and it turned out great. We went out to the Botanical Gardens, where she gave me about an hour of shots and then she was knocked out tired on the walk back to the car. =)

Happy 2nd Birthday!!

Out on the Farm

Had a great session today! I went out to Bergey's Breadbasket and did a session for a great looking family! I have a lot of favorites, but I'd say my ultimate favorite is the picture featured here in this post. I just love it!

I am so glad that I got to do this session today, it was nice to go out to a country like atmosphere. The people at Bergey's were very friendly, and I plan on going back when I have time to enjoy some of their food. My mouth was watering just looking at the menu!

Now if the weather had been a bit cooler......

:)

Love Them All!

Today I had the opportunity to capture a beautiful baby girl! She did so well on having her picture taken, and I love the pictures that I got. It was hard to pick just one picture for this blog.

I was supposed to do her session on Thursday, but had to reschedule for today. I got to use my new stuff, and I am very happy with the results. Beautiful! =)

Knitting!

I have come across so many knitted things that I would absolutely LOVE to have for my photography. So I thought that maybe I would give knitting a try and I could make some of my own things. Saturday morning I went on a mission to good old Wally World to get some yarn and some knitting needles.

At first, I'll admit that I wanted to claim defeat and get on with my life. haha. I was learning via YouTube, though, so I reconsidered and found a different video. I thought maybe the video wasn't telling me enough because I felt like I was doing as they say, but I wasn't getting the results. I found another video, and just like that I figured out what I was doing wrong. From that moment on, I was golden. I think I went a little too big for my first blanket tho. I think I will be working on it for the next week or so.

I'm excited about it, and I hope I can learn something other than a blanket! haha. I just don't know where I will find the time yet. I have a lot of things going on right now. But, at least I'm busy and I need that right now. :)

New Studio Stuff

I got some new stuff today for my session this afternoon, and was really excited to use it but my session was canceled. Since I was already set up and ready, I thought I would snap some pictures of my daughter. She really liked the tutu I had bought, so we tried it out. I think the pictures turned out well, but I can't wait to use my new stuff on some new kiddo's! =)
